I Gave Up Being Stronger

Imagine a world where humanity lives in the sky, there's no land. Instead a vast endless ocean. Ingrit Clodines dreams of exploring the ocean depths as a Mage diver, but his weak magic and impoverished upbringing make it an impossible goal. Without the resources to grow stronger, his aspirations seem doomed to remain a fantasy. Everything changes during a fateful underwater mission. Betrayed by a teammate who removes his oxygen mask, Ingrit is exposed to the poisonous sea and left for dead. As he succumbs to the darkness, a voice echoes in his mind: [O you Chosen one. You are not allowed to die yet] Revived by an ancient force, Ingrit becomes one of the "Chosen" and discovers a power far beyond anything he could have imagined. But with this new strength comes a dangerous destiny—one that ties him to the mysteries of the ocean and a betrayal that could shatter the world above.

Check out my other books: Demon Being System and The Neptune Guardian. In a world where strength determines one's future, William, an orphan with no extraordinary talents, faces a grim destiny—until a brutal attack leaves him clinging to life. Instead of death, he awakens to a mysterious and powerful entity lurking within his mind: the Shadow System, a game-like interface that promises him unimaginable power. But this power comes with dark secrets, and refusing it would mean his death. Forced into a pact with a voice that can hear his every thought, William must navigate a dangerous new reality where shadow abilities and celestial power collide. As he enters the prestigious military academy, his newfound abilities draw both allies and enemies, all while a deadly conspiracy brews in the shadows. With the odds stacked against him, William must unravel the mystery of the Shadow System and decide whether to embrace the darkness within—or be consumed by it. His journey from a bullied outcast to a potential god will challenge not just his survival, but his very humanity. Power always comes at a cost—will William be able to pay the price? "What am I?" William asked the system. The system’s voice echoed in his head, cold and indifferent. "You are nothing."

That guy was my friend's boyfriend. After they fought, he came home and said he wanted my opinion. What exactly made his girlfriend change? I, who didn't have a bad feeling at all, put him in the house. Then he killed me! That bastard stabbed me multiple times with a kitchen knife and killed me. Even though he knew tomorrow was my wedding day. How sad. A death that made me curse all efforts. But, what could I do? I thought I was dead. I did. Because at that moment I didn't feel any air in my lungs. Because everything went dark. I didn't know anything until I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful ceiling with crystal chandeliers. Are there hospitals like this? I'm sure that even if the apartment I lived in was sold, I wouldn't be able to buy that crystal chandelier! "She's alive! SHE'S ALIVE! LADY ELEONORA IS ALIVE!" I turned my head and saw an old woman running while screaming. I'm alive? Really? But who is Eleonora? I'm Cristy! I don't understand anything yet. Not a single thing. People started introducing themselves as my parents, future in-laws, and fiancé. But I knew that none of them were telling the truth! Their smiling faces were terrifying masks. My gut screamed at me to run away. And I knew that my gut never lied!

This world had extraordinary strong beings known as professionals, favored by the "heavens," who could level up and strengthen themselves by running dungeons and killing monsters.

He continuously strengthened himself through the simulator, becoming a hidden powerhouse, silently resisting the invasion of the Foreign Race... ps: This is a story about a simulator, leaning towards a careful survival strategy, farming development, and operating from behind the scenes...

Ryzel, a nineteen-year-old guide, was expecting to marry Dwight, but the man changed his mind a month before the wedding. “I’m sorry, Ryzel. I wanted a nice and compassionate wife, so I am going to marry Sean instead. Unlike you, who were usually preoccupied with other things, he always showed concern for me. Not to mention how highly compatible we are with one another. I've actually met him before, but he persuaded me to date you because he feels sorry for you." Without even waiting for Ryzel's response, the man left. Ryzel, who was left behind, can't even bother caring about his heart because he's been dealing with a lot of issues as a result of the sudden rejection. He was turning 20 in a month, which meant he had to be married according to the federation's laws. After he reaches the age of 20, the government's assistance will cease, leaving him to fend for his own expenses. If he is not married to a powerful sentinel, he will not be able to reclaim his inheritance and will be forced to die on the front lines. He instantly began looking for solutions, but his hope kept dwindling as his birthday approached without a proper solution to his problems. On the day he felt all hope was lost, his ex’s superior, General Lewis, proposed to him. "I'm not gentle and kind; my priority probably won’t be you; our compatibility may not be high; do you still want to marry me?" Ryzel questioned, fixing his gaze on the general. "It's okay, I don't need my wife to be gentle and kind. Our compatibility is also high. You can focus on your studies, job, or dreams. As long as you remember that you are my guide." “Okay, let’s get married.” ------------------------ This is the story of Ryzel's advancement in career and love life, even with all the troubles surrounding him.

"You know what a good girl would have done? A good girl would have stayed home instead of sneaking out of her father's compound just to get a man to fuck her.

If Only I Could Level Up In a world reshaped by the enigmatic Paradox World System, humanity has become a battleground of levels, stats, and unimaginable power. For most, survival means ascending the ranks of the system, but for Erwin Grey, it’s a cruel paradox. Born without a system of his own, he’s trapped in a world where everyone else evolves—except him. Yet, Erwin is far from powerless. He discovers a unique ability: while he cannot level up himself, his weapons and items can ascend to extraordinary heights. Armed with this anomaly, Erwin must navigate deadly trials, face ruthless players, and outwit a system designed to crush him. But survival is only the beginning. As Erwin unravels the truth behind the Paradox World System, he’s confronted by a shocking revelation: the system was created by his future self to prepare humanity for a war with an unknown enemy. Now, Erwin must embrace his role as the architect of his own torment and make impossible choices—where sacrifice and survival are often the same. Epic battles, chilling decisions, and a hero driven by cold logic and ingenuity. If Only I Could Level Up is a gripping tale of resilience, defiance, and the relentless pursuit of purpose in a world that demands everything. Will Erwin conquer the system, or will the weight of his choices destroy him? The clock is ticking, and the price of failure is extinction.
